This Spanish Kapow teacher video supports you in teaching how verbs change in Spanish depending on who is doing the action. In this unit, pupils explore third person singular verb forms like se llama (he/she is called), vive (he/she lives), and tiene (he/she has), applying them in descriptions of family members or friends. These familiar verbs are presented in a clear table format alongside the first and second person forms, helping children to spot common patterns in verb endings.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s Spanish scheme of work – grammar. It explains the logic behind verb conjugation and introduces reflexive pronouns like me, te, and se, which appear in everyday phrases such as me llamo. You’ll receive guidance on explaining how the literal meanings of these structures differ from their English translations, offering children insights into grammar while equipping them with the confidence to describe others accurately in Spanish.
